it even features THE best titled song that we've ever heard of: "the three crows of life vs the wood pigeon of death". the exact running order for the EP is; 1- san francisco baby rides 2- (have you heard) musicality 3- the answailians 4- the three crows of life vs the wood pigeon of death 5- you know it's true 6- the overhead projector theory we'll have artwork available reasonably soon, mp3 samples are already available on the salako site (http://www.jeepster.co.uk/salako/) the release date for this is provisionally set at 25th october in the UK, but this is a mere courtesy since it won't be available in the shops, we'll put a few for sale on the website for fans outside of the UK after the gigs, but the vast majority will only be available at forthcoming gigs. copies of their recent 'bird in the bag' limited 7" are still available to purchase through the jeepster shop, it includes the 'associate listener membership cards' which entitles the holder to various privileges. one of the privileges we are aware of is that, if you stop the band on the streets of hull and produce the card, they'll buy you a cup of tea!

Uh!I actually thought I'd never get it.You know,with the list and all.Anyway,I got up this morning at 8.Surprisingly,it wasn't cold.So,I look out of the window and I see the castle here in Dudley being dark,because the sun was right behind it sneaking out from the clouds.I was in awe!!!!Mind me saying that but I put Elliott Smith on the stereo and flew away.And then I had a lecture,which was quite nice.But then I had another lecture.I didn't go.It is too beautyful a day to be in class having this full of negative vibes teacher talking with his really boring voice.So,I didn't go!Last night I got pissed and became the fool of the halls.It was fun,though! Well,I'm off now.I'll probably go to my room and have an exciting afternoon.Again.No B&S in any place around here,as a friend pointed out.WAKE UP YOU TWATS!I come here from fuckin bloody Greece and I know more?PLEASE!!!I need a decent rock place something and hurry!

Sinister: Does Poetry Rock?
by Peter Miller 14 Oct '99

14 Oct '99

That woman in the Guardian is talking shite, isn't she? I bet she's "slightly soiled" as well. The Trousers Article read much more nicely than hers, the useless old trout. As veterans of Jeepster's underhand Brits campaign, we all know how Robbie Williams got to number two. His fans, little girls or not, are what the NME calls "techno-literate". I thought everyone thought "Bohemian Rhapsody" was a load of crap. I have to say that I think the debate between poetry and song lyrics is a bit redundant. After all, until the record industry came along and spoiled everything, they were just different words for the same thing. I have no evidence to back this theory up, apart from the fact that loads of poems begin "I sing my song and celebrate / the size of Murdoch's trouser snake", for example. And everybody knows that simple lyrics are better than complicated ones. I used to like clever lyrics, but I grew out of it. Now I prefer groove-centred instrumentals. For the record, I would have voted for "Our House" by Madness, and if pushed to choose a line, I would plump for "She's the one they're going to miss in lots of ways", a touching tribute to Madness's mum, that I'm sure Barry Sheene would appreciate. When my mate's mum got in a muddle with the camera, he said "Mums eh? They're all the same!" What a gent. Keith (17), thank you for deciding to close your disco at such a sensible hour. If only everyone else would follow your example. Props to Nick for sending those articles in. I think you deserve to have the record of your choice played at Keith's special disco. How about it, Keith?

Sinister: Miserable? Moi?
by Alder, Lucy 14 Oct '99

14 Oct '99

Well, first of all, I'm not a sad cow anymore. I've spent 5 days enjoying the delights of northern Italy and have returned with new clothes and perfume, a stash of Diana cigarettes (blue ones for the royal connection) and a much happier heart. So sorry for boring you all before, but I'm back to my old juicy self and promise never to darken your inbox with stress and misery again. Have you ever tried starving yourself of music? It's fab. I didn't listen to anything while I was in Italy, then put Tigermilk on as soon as I got in and it was twice as good as usual (which is really saying something, is it not?). I am also listening to a lot of music with handclaps at the moment - in my (oh so humble) opinion, a song with handclaps in it is as catchy as crabs. And they general make your toes tingle and twitch and itch to dance. My current fave is Needle in a Haystack (as in finding a good man is...). Just realised that parentheses must be as catchy as crabs because I've obviously caught brackets off somebody on this list. Better than rickets I suppose. But you can't catch rickets because it's caused by vitamin deficiency or something. Anyway, I think in the middle of all that I mentioned a top soul tune, so speaking of that, who was listening to John Peel last night? I scrabbled around and couldn't find a pen to write down the name of that corking soul tune he played. Can anyone help? I want to add it to my Records Wanted list for next time I go soul shoppin'. Hmmm... a Records Wanted list - who was it that decreed that girls can't be trainspotterish? Actually, I've had enough of the girls like this and boys like that argument. That whinger in the guardian reckoned it was girls who voted for Angels 2nd best lyric - rot! I know as many boys who like that song as girls who do. And it was written by a boy too. And I like being trainspotterish about records and I love football (yes, indeed, a lover of football can also love Woking Football Club). So there! And talking of football, my team in Italy, Atalanta, has signed Caniggia (a legend, non-footie fans). My friend Roby taught me the song they sing for him, which involves spurious references to sacks of South American powders. But I was drunk at the time and can't remember it in Italian, let alone attempt a translation. Drunken Kerry wrote: i said i wanted to boff one of his friends Blimey! Does it mean shag? When I heard the word boff at school, I thought they were taking the piss because I got my homework done on time. If only I'd known. And then Mark C wrote I also find the expression "having sex" sounds faintly unpleasant because of the connotation I lumber it with that it's a 100% physical, 0% emotional act. But surely it's preferable to "making love", which has a yuckfactor of Michael Boltonesque proportions. As opposed to my favourite old chestnut, "shagging", which is just great. Goodness gracious, what a lot of smut. Juicy Lucy =================================================== This communication contains information which is confidential and may also be privileged.

Sinister: I'll have a crocodile sandwich...
by Mark Casarotto 14 Oct '99

14 Oct '99

Wanky post ahoy. Kerry's recent letter was all about having sex. What struck me was the way the phrase was just tossed off (cheers) here and there in the most matter-of-fact way, whether it was talking about Beanz fantasies or exes or one night stands. It's probably just a language thing, me being oversensitive while Kerry was just being stream-of-consciousness literal, but it's still something that made me think Which is a rarity. Sex with people you care about is better than sex with people you don't. Even if the act of coition isn't as impressive, it's always going to be on a different level that makes it that much more satisfying. Well that's what I think anyway, but I may be being a hopeless romantic. Which is quite a nice way to be. I also find the expression "having sex" sounds faintly unpleasant because of the connotation I lumber it with that it's a 100% physical, 0% emotional act. Coming from someone who can argue for hours about how words shouldn't be given any status they don't merit (cunt being the obvious example), that sounds silly. I'd rather use the word fuck to describe the act if it were with someone I love, as to me it seems at least passionate, and has a sense of depth about it. But that's just me. I must admit, though, that discovering saying "You're totally hot. I've considered having sex with you a few times" actually *works* has radically changed my view of pick-up lines :-) Finally, an apology. Tim has made me realise that my "biting satire" wasn't really very funny. It wasn't entirely satire either. I'm sorry to be offensive, even if I was trying to be funny (a bit) and wasn't really serious (though I was, a bit). I suppose I am a snob. 14 years of public school education is bound to leave some kind of stain... Told you it was wanky.

I trust you all more (you may blush now.. or skip this entry altogether as you see fit). today is my birthday.. and my girlfriend has forgotten it. i am not running in circles around my room pulling out my hair while smoke pours from my ears.. but i am kind of sad. we've been together nearly two years. should i be upset? or am i overreacting? sure more terrible things in life happen.. natural disaster, disease, enduring Cheap Trick concerts, etc.. but is this a sign? i wonder if there have been others that i am in denial about.. dismissing it as mere thoughtlessness. oh to be Mayfly. love z- _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!

Sinister: poetry debate
by Genevieve Wesley 13 Oct '99

13 Oct '99

Hi List, Thankyou to Nick Dastoor for writing the articles up-- it was interesting wasn't it? Trousers,your speech is very eloquent and I would like you to write my philosophy essay for me. God knows I'm getting stupider.No..I really am.There was this vocabulary quiz and I didnt know what extol or apex was.Sigh.That girl who wrote back about the poetry seemed to be having a hissy fit,I'm sorry,but just because you're 15 doesn't give you an exuse to be a dolt.I liked the New Kids when I was 5,but I think thats different..Sure some of that easy-breezy music stuff is fun to dance to and everything,but good god,its not like I'm going to go home and try to anaylze "Angels" by Robbie Williams. But uh-oh..I dont actually KNOW this "Angels" song,so maybe it could be deep,huh? But anyways,I think you know what I mean. Now DROOLZ..on the other hand...thats heavy stuff...tears at my soul... This reminds me of a conversation I had with my father.After his usual teasing of my choice in music I said "Come on..I'm sure you didnt listen to all that classical stuff when you were my age" And he replied that actually he had...he just had to wrestle for it to be played in the car. Geez,theres always someone up higher in the musical food chain.I laugh at Moffat girls...Father laughs at Belle&Sebastian girls...but who laughs at father? Moffat girls? Those boys are really nasty looking.I know its mean,but they are.Yet they were painted on red-sequinned pants, why why why? Piddly poo..anyways,I'm sorry to bug you all again,but I really dig this list for homework dilemmas.I need to compare 2 philosopher or historian guys who might share the same idea,or may have opposing views.(e.g Marx vs Smith..except...you cant do that one,so dont suggest!) "Help me!" cried the girl as she tumbled down the cliff. PJ Miller...dont knock the tousle,tousle,tousle till you've tried it.I picture you with waist-length auburn locks.Or maybe strawberry blonde. Oh,and *I've* got my OWN sinisterine story now too.Ok..maybe it wasn't all fancy-pants,and there was so football game,and there was no drink,but I did get to see the lovely EA, the princess who broke my hank-as-frog spell. aaaaa! brain turning to mush! love... genevieve,no-longer-a-toad p.s everyone go to keiths club dammit!Friggin hell,everything is so close over there.You know,if I was in Europe,I would like...bicyle to different countries.London to Paris in 2 hours! I can't get over it.If I was to travel north..I'd make it to Nunavut. Mick has a brother,awwww. I just love families of brothers.Stuart David has a brother.Does Stuart Murdoch have a brother..is a widdle widdle guy? I just want to scoop that whole bunch up in my arms and coo at them. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
